From Programming Perl, by Wall, Christiansen, and Schwartz, O'Reilly, p. 607:hash
A named list of key/value pairs, arranged such that you can easily use any key to find its associated value; a binary relation, to database users. A hash is also sometimes called an "associative array".

I'm sure there are many other places where other definitions may be found.
